  • "Real hate" VS "True hate"
    Apr 8 2026

    Mauricio brings his work-in-progress stand-up bit about skateboarders to the table, inspired by Barcelona's crackdown on skaters at the MACBA museum. The crew workshopping the material live, debating whether to double down on the hate or keep walking it back, and riffing on everything from Karen vigilantes to the philosophical difference between "true hate" and "real hate." It gets dark, it gets funny, and somehow ends with a bus, a body, and a very specific kind of joy.

    So now the question is:
    are these bits… or career-ending decisions?

    Tell us what we should try and what should absolutely never leave this podcast.

  • "We Kind of Want Iran to Win (And We Feel Weird About It)"
    Apr 7 2026

    Colman, Mauricio and Chris try to make sense of the US/Iran crisis and end up questioning everything from Trump's toxic ex energy to why MAGA only cares about war when gas prices go up.
    A conversation about living in a world with no good guys left, no heroes worth following, and potholes that still haven't been fixed.
    Funny, honest, and occasionally a little dangerous.
